Sherlock, Misfits, The Fades up for BAFTAs

Sherlock, The Fades and Misfits have all received nominations in the 2012 BAFTA Television Awards.

Sherlock leads the way with 3 nominations, although surprisingly didn’t make the Best Drama Series category this year. Benedict Cumberbatch is up for Best Leading Actor, while Andrew Scott and Martin Freeman compete for Best Supporting Actor. The show is also up for the YouTube Audience Award, which can be voted for here.

Recently cancelled show The Fades faces off against Misfits for Best Drama Series.

In another surprising move, Doctor Who received not a single nomination this year.
